Pan - and others with 99/00 bikes.
The return hose is the culprit.
If you buy an original hose from Mr Suzuki, you will find that the tank end of the hose has a molded kink in it.
It is imperitive that the hose is fitted to the tank with the kink facing in the correct direction and that you position the body of the hose downwards and around the sump breather hose that runs up to the airbox. Thereby not putting any pressure on the hose to want to buckle when it heats up.
You also have to ensure that the clamp around the tank nipple is as tight as a NUN'S nether regions to stop the hose from twisting and therefore kinking at the joint.
This should stop your hot weather problems.
If you fit the hose in any way other than the original position, it will kink when hot- guaranteed. This causes the bike to hesitate or stall when hot.
Here endeth the lesson. Can we make this a sticky please?
